It was the little things, like seeing tuk tuks instead of taxis, having chickens in the house, making tortillas with my homestay family, not being able to buy avocados because they were out of season, going to church with my family…that made everything more real and powerful.

The most impactful moments for me was during both homestays and seeing how much the family members cared for each other and me. Both times they said that I was a part of their family and could come back anytime and stay with them. This was so meaningful because they had only known me for a couple of days and I want to bring this kind of compassion back to the US.
